The Toulousain Léon Marchand continues to dazzle French and world swimming. The Toec Dolphins swimmer, who now trains in the United States with the highly reputed Bob Bowman, achieved a historic performance a few days ago in Arizona.
During a university competition, the Toulousain signed the second fastest time in history over 100 meters medley, in less than 47 seconds. He won, within his team of the Sun Devils of Arizona Stateen, in 46”63. The nugget of French swimming, double world champion, seems to have taken advantage of his non-participation in the European swimming championships.
Toulouse swimmer Léon Marchand “can go as far as he wants”, legend Michael Phelps recently said during an interview at the Demain le Sport festival organized by Radio France.
